I watched an online talk between ‘Noam Chomsky’ & ‘Yanis Varoufakis’ the former Greek Finance minister and was amazed at the state of peace, calmness and easiness that filled the talk. Prof. Chomsky didn’t seem at all in a battle to set the tone during and demonstrate who has the upper hand when it comes to knowledge & experience; he was sitting in total ease, calmly and peacefully with a self filled with confidence. I watched and noticed how he has nothing to prove for the world, not even that he’s an expert, top scholar and one of greatest intellectual figures alive. He didn’t occupy himself on showing the world that man sitting opposite to him whom is very young has got to do a lot in order for him to catch up with him, he had let the Greek minister do much of the talking! Well that is how confident people behave!

Mel Robbins wears many hats and also holds many posts (Commentator, TV host, & a coach among other thing), beside all her great achievements she has set the bar very high for herself with a very exceptional goal; to exceed ‘Rush Limbaugh’ in the number of stations that she aims to be working for. (Touch the wood)!

Away from the talks, discussions and pretending that we often use to appear in control, I think it’s okay sometimes to admit that we are not Mr. & Mrs know it all, and that beneath all the tough appearance and the masks we wear, we’re vulnerable and sometimes we have our own doubts and don’t have a clue what the hell we are doing! But even during those times of uncertainty, we must never lose faith and hope.
